ClinConnect Summary
The PANDORA clinical trial is studying how well a special imaging test called PSMA PET/CT can help detect significant prostate cancer lesions in men who have had a recent MRI that showed unclear results. PSMA PET/CT focuses on a protein that is often found in higher amounts in prostate cancer cells, which may allow doctors to better identify cancerous areas that might be missed by traditional imaging methods. This study aims to see if using PSMA PET/CT can improve the accuracy of prostate cancer detection in men who need a biopsy due to uncertain MRI findings.
To participate in this trial, men must be 18 years or older and have had a multiparametric MRI within the past six months that showed at least one lesion classified as PI-RADS 3 (which indicates a moderate suspicion of cancer). Participants will undergo PSMA PET/CT imaging and may then receive a biopsy to confirm any findings. The trial is currently recruiting, so if you or someone you know meets the eligibility criteria, this could be a valuable opportunity to contribute to important research in prostate cancer detection.
